some of them remind me Jean Paul Gaultier.

It's lovely, but yes - reminds me a lot of Gaultier and Galliano.

reminds so much of JPG

 

[Nymphaea]

No freshness at all.

a bit gimmicky as far as I am concerned...

I was definitely more a fan of the previous collection, this indeed feels very dull and reminiscent of Jean Paul Gaultier's work.

I agreed it's very lovely,it's better than I thought.

it looks like it's all beautifully made, but who will want to wear this? It feels heavy-handed and slightly ridiculous, not humorous, fresh and artistic like Schiaparelli.

Exactly.

Totally in the "couture spirit", some crazy color combinations but on a whole a nice and fun show!

I like the pink coat with 'ES" embroidered on it, what an amazing contrast to the deep blue/purple gown underneath! absolutely fab!

not a fan of the yellow, dotty dress though

Gorgeous collection, Maybe Elsa Schiaparelli influenced JPG.

Pretty much. In a vacuum, it's a nice little collection, but there's quite a difference between light-hearted and cartoonish. I don't think Marco aced that concept yet.

 

[Nepenthes]

It was a fun, whimsical collection! Some of the looks could definitely afford to be edited but overall it was very good!

absolutely.

This is the best I've seen from Zanini. Everything's very well done, very coherent, very well edited, very round, very Schiaparelli too. That said... I don't like it. Marco is a mediocre designer at best; he just doesn't have true talent and everything he does looks irrelevant.


By the way, I'm so over the 'this is not wearable' comments. This is couture; they are not trying to make a profit. If you want to see sellable clothes go to see the Gucci collection on Style.com. Anyway, I do see many wearable clothes here... Everything looks wearable, actually. Everything has its market.

I agree with you here. I'm also sick of seeing 'gimmicky' thrown everytime a motif is used on clothing. There's a difference between kitsch, surrealism, and gimmicks. This is Schiaparelli so kitschy, artsy surrealistic motifs or 'gimmicks' should be used a lot.
